Not if the humidity is below 20%

When you heat the air you aren't drying the air, but rather increasing the amount of moisture the air can hold. By increasing the moisture content after heating the air you decrease the rate of evaporation of moisture off your skin and thus making it feel warmer.

Not much you can do without moving if it's a rental.

Wear warmer clothing + Buy a humidifier. You would be amazed at how effective it can be to raise the humidity in a room/house rather than raise the temperature.
